Move, Inc.
12-18 mo. Price Target $2.00 Redemption of ARS Increases Likelihood of Share
MOVE - NASDAQ $2.18 Repurchases
3-5 Yr. EPS Gr. Rate 25% SUMMARY
52-Wk Range $3.18-$1.45 After the close, MOVE announced the sale of its auction rate securities (ARS) for a
Shares Outstanding 155.8M modest discount to its already reduced balance sheet value. The company received
Float 127.0M $109.8M from SecondMarket, Inc. vs. its $111.8M carrying value (and par of
Market Capitalization $339.6M $129.4M). This represents 32% of its market cap, or 37% of EV, giving the
Avg. Daily Trading Volume 597,737 company significantly more flexibility to restructure its balance sheet or repurchase
stock. As Elevation's preferred stock is not convertible until November 2012, we do
Dividend/Div Yield $0.00/0.00%
not assume early redemption. If we assume half the cash is used by year-end 2011,
Fiscal Year Ends Dec this would be 15% accretive to EPS, and 30% accretive on a two-year basis.
Book Value $0.49
KEY POINTS
2010E ROE NM
LT Debt $0.0M ■ Minimal impact to EV and price target. Since we were already giving the
Preferred $110.0M company credit for the ARS in our EV calculation, and our price target is based
on EV/EBITDA (and not a P/E multiple), there is no impact to our price target;
Common Equity $77M
we will reassess it after the company reports on May 6.
Convertible Available No
■ Income statement impact. The company expects a $20M (non-cash) charge in
EPS Diluted Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Year Mult. 1Q:10, with $1M in additional transaction expenses in 2Q:10.

Move, Inc.

Investment Thesis
Move, Inc. operates the dominant US real estate website for existing home sales with 65% of total time spent within the category, as well
as the leading realtor CRM software. With margins at an all-time low and the lag in listings revenue relative to improving real estate
fundamentals, we expect EBITDA growth over the next several years. Longer-term MOVE has the opportunity to leverage the company's
user data to the benefit of its agent and broker customers.

Price Target Calculation


Our $2.00 price target assumes investors will value shares at 10x our 2011 EBITDA estimate of $18.9M. This is a 35%
premium to the average multiple among the advertising driven companies we cover, as we expect MOVE's long-term
EBITDA growth of roughly 20% to outpace the peer average of 7-10%.
Key Risks to Price Target
Online advertising may weaken, real estate markets could take an even sharper downturn, and low barriers to entry could lead to
increased competition.

We see MOVE, as a stock trading under $5, as speculative and appropriate for risk-tolerant investors.
